The State Department two years ago hailed Capt. Yee's appointment.

Another brilliant move at State.

Should he be grilled or fried?

Having muslims in the military is insane.

islam is a satanic cult of death.

Capt. Yee has been busy....

Drawings and two lists found on his person despite known prohibitions against such things.

This man is going down.

Who does the State Department represemt? The Saudis?

Capt. Yee, 35, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 1990 and attended artillery school to became a Patriot missile battery officer. Raised as a Lutheran in New Jersey, he converted to Islam while in the Army. He resigned his commission and traveled to Damascus, Syria, where he enrolled in traditional Islamic classes and learned Arabic.

Also known as Yousef, he returned to the United States and rejoined the Army as a chaplain, assigned to the 1st Corps at Fort Lewis, Wash. In November, the Army sent him to Guantanamo to counsel Muslim inmates.

The Bush official disputed statements from some outside intelligence analysts that the United States put Capt. Yee under surveillance from the moment he returned to the Army.

Presuming guilt, did this guy return to the army as a spy or was he simply overwhelmed at what he saw at Guantanamo? If it was the former, how many more of these are burrowing away?

Finally, at the risk of exercising the PC crowd, was this guy a Black Muslim and is there a lot of this going on? It has been reported that the Islamists have had some recruiting gains among the black prison population. What is going on in the civilian sector?

Was this guy a nice suburban Lutheran from New Jersey? If so, a very unusual occurance even after John Walker Lind, and one might be more inclined to guess that his is an isolated case.

If these questions are valid, why wasn't his race reported?

Legal question:

Yee's notes taken at GitMo are under minister-client protection, no? Can the defence attorney seek to bar his notes as evidence?

[tracer]

Oh, Yee of little faith.......

[SoulStorms]

Nobody wants to create the impression we listen to clergy while administering to the flock. But this guy warranted attention.

Okay...let's don't create that impression, but it's about time we did some listening.

[Arkady]

abc ingeniously described him all day as "military minister or cleric" instead of the more accurate muslim-chaplain. Once again, they protect us from the danger of seeing islamofascists for who they are.

[xp38]

According to the law-enforcement source, a military officer listed five charges against Capt. Yee: sedition; aiding the enemy; spying; espionage; and failure to obey a general order.

Can someone with military legal knowledge explain the difference between spying and espionage?

[Leatherneck_MT]

Every last one of these Muslims should be immediately placed in a compound and watched carefully.

Sorry if that sounds "Mean Spirited", but our very existance is at stake here.

Furthermore I'm convinced at this point that this "Religion" should be considered a Cult and not given chaplain status in the Military.
